Milan Defeat Sassuolo 3-0 to be Crowned 2021-22 Serie A Champions
2021-22 Serie A Scudetto Winners Milan

Camila Gonzalez had the opportunity to witness Milan’s 3-0 victory over Sassuolo in Matchday 38. The Mapei Stadium was dominated by Rossoneri fans as they knew anything other than a loss would allow them to secure the Scudetto for the first time in over a decade.

Following Milan’s third goal, fans and the team knew what was coming. Fans invaded the pitch in a celebratory moment after the final whistle; later returning to their seats for the Scudetto ceremony. It was a moment of a lifetime, with Camila even meeting up with Calgary-born central defender Fikayo Tomori for an exclusive interview.

While the 2021-22 Serie A season may be over, there is lots to look forward to for the 2022-23 campaign. In the meantime, tune in to TLN TV this Sunday, June 5 at 7P for the Serie A Season Final Review Show with Camila and Antonio Giorgi.
